How Kelvin beats Warden
Your game plan as Kelvin
A support-tank who keeps his team alive and the enemy team slow.
Lane
Frost Grenade trades and heals your partner at once. Arctic Beam slows and reduces fire rate.
Mid game
Ice Path is the best rotation tool in the game. Use it to carry your team to objectives.
Late game
Frozen Shelter blocks everything: dome your carry, or dome a fight to split it.

Laning
Win the lane: Kelvin into Warden
- 01Warden wins the farm by ~15.3 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
- 02Warden wants close range. Keep troopers between you, save stamina for a dash out, and punish them when they over-commit.
- 03Warden has sustain (Last Stand). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
- 04Your own sustain (Frost Grenade, Frozen Shelter) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
